People Watching

That wasn't funny, but she laughed so hard, she almost cried They're countin' months they've been together, almost forty-nine He's makin' fun of how she acted 'round the holidays She wears a ring, but they tell people that they're not engaged They met in class for metaphysical philosophy He tells his friends, "I like her 'cause she's so much smarter than me" They're having talks about their futures until 4AM And I'm happy for them But I wanna feel all that love and emotion Be that attached to the person I'm holdin' Someday I'll be fallin' without caution But for now I'm only people watchin' I'm only lookin' just to live through you vicariously I've never really been in love, not seriously I had a dream about a house behind a picket fence Next one I choose to trust, I hope I use some common sense But I cut people out like tags on my clothing I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping I wanna feel all that love and emotion Be that attached to the person I'm holdin' Someday I'll be fallin' without caution But for now I'm only people watchin' Cut people out like tags on my clothing I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping I won't be scared to let someone know me Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hoping Cut people out like tags on my clothing I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping I won't be scared to let someone know me Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hoping I feel love emotion I wanna feel all that love and emotion Be that attached to the person I'm holdin' Someday I'll be fallin' without caution But for now I'm only people watchin'
